Pros:

Amazing family-run spot just a short walk to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve entrance. Great communication before and during our visit. A quiet place that makes you feel like you're in the cloud forest!

One of our favorites
Pros:

This was our second stay here. We love the secluded feel with the "forest" at our back door. Easy walk to Cloud Forest entrance. Easy to walk or take taxi into town. The walk wasn't long, but back is a steep climb that our children complained about. Helpful and kind service.

Pros:

Great location, walking distance to entrance of Monteverde Cloud Forest! The front desk person was very sweet and helpful in guiding us - from parking in the property to where to eat and how to navigate the park. Staying here was a surreal experience, like you’re in the jungle/rainforest itself. We initially booked a normal room but asked whether we would have a kitchenette and the staff was very nice to upgrade us to the one bedroom apartment. Great amenities, would definitely come back and recommend others to stay here!

Nice place and awesome host
Pros:

The location was very nice, our cabin was right at the woods and we saw an armadillo from our balcony at night.
The cabin is well equipped and charming. The only thing I would add is an explanation of how to use the air conditioner or hot air, I’m not sure.
Also as the clima is very humid, maybe offering an option to use a dryer for clothes.

We stayed one night and had a great stay. Next to the reserve. Def need a vehicle. We were a family of 5 and there was enough beds and 2 bathrooms and kitchen. Felt secluded. Staff was great and very helpful. Would recommend.

Pros:

Very pretty location surrounded by trees and the rainforest. No AC in room but it was very cool. More like cabins so we were surprised by some little critters sneaking into our room.

The hotel is very nice with reasonable prices! But the roads between La Fortuna and Monteverde were extremely bad. Dirt roads with lots of potholes!!

Great location...enjoyable stay
Pros:

Stayed 2 nights. Family of four (2 adults and 2 kids).
The staff is very courteous and willing to help with anything from suggestions on tourist stops to restaurants.
The location is very close to the cloud forest. Yay!
The rooms are well cleaned and comfortable.
You’re surrounded by trees/forest (very scenic). As a bonus, we had monkey’s playing outside in the trees next to us!
Highly recommend!!

Pros:

Short walk to Monteverde reserve. It is really peaceful and has a beautiful patio where you can watch wildlife. Can easily catch a bus to get into town, but is more isolated and peaceful compared to the busy town. Saw monkeys and toucans on the walk to the reserve.

Pros:

Very beautiful property, very comfortable beds. it is a bit out of the way so you either have to drive to access food and shopping, or are you have to be willing to walk a lot! Although it was called a B&B on the website, there was no breakfast included. That was surprising and disappointing That is my only criticism. Otherwise, it was lovely.

very clean! Nice wooden beach and hammock outside of room, the room had a safe and hairdryer, no fridge. Extremely friendly staff. Better than the pics! The free breakfast was ok, eggs, toast, pancakes, fruit, etc., would definitely stay here again, I really felt like I was in the center of the rainforest with how lovely it was.

Pros:

The owners of this bed and breakfast are truly some of the best humans I’ve come across in my travels. So so helpful and kind, I can’t say enough good things about them. The property itself was very comfortable with some kitchen staples included (i.e., salt and pepper, a large selection of pots and pans as well as plates and utensils so you can easily cook your own meals if that’s what you’re into. Great stay! We hope to go back.
